Nanling Mountains
Rugged karst terrain and lush forests marking the provincial border between Guangdong and Hunan.
Mount Heng (Nanyue)
One of China's five sacred mountains, visible as a cluster of prominent peaks mid-flight.
Yangtze River Bend
A grand perspective of the mighty Yangtze river winding through the plains of Hubei province.
Taihang Escarpment
The dramatic mountain wall that separates the high Loess Plateau from the North China Plain near Handan.
Opt for the left side on late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the mountains. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the sharp elevation drop of the Taihang Mountains to the west. Autumn provides the best visibility due to clearer skies over northern China.
